READ all about it - pupils at Harrop Fold School have turned news hounds as they produce their own newspaper.

Year 10 and 11 students from the Little Hulton school have become budding young journalists while putting together the Harrop Fold Express to promote the school and report on the activities going on in the community.

The monthly publication is being distributed to primary schools in the area as well as throughout Harrop Fold itself.

It has also been sent home to parents.

Science teacher Lynn Meikle has overseen the project. She said: "Pupils wanted to publish a paper that promoted their school and showed their community all the positive activities that occur here. Very positive feedback has come from teachers, pupils and parents.

"The pupils worked extremely hard on this newspaper and headteacher Mr Edkins was so impressed that he now sends copies to all feeder primary schools of Harrop Fold."
